The month of love is upon us and where some of you will be all over the hearts and flowers, others will simply use it as a good excuse for a romantic meal out to break the dull New Year diet! And in more recent years the singletons among us have decided to celebrate the joy of loving yourself and gone all out with an extra-special treat-to-me.
The day was first associated with romance in the circle of Chaucer in the middle ages when the tradition of more courtly love was at its peak! It transformed into an occasion for lovers to express their affections by presenting flowers, sweet treats and poems or cards.
We decided to pull together some of our favourite Perthshire businesses and have mixed up traditional Valentine's gift ideas - red roses and gold rings - some quirkier variations - cheese club and posters - and the ultimate romantic gesture, a Valentine's Day Wedding Package!
